    Pirlo goes into the overrated pile for me, if he is being compared with Xavi. Brilliant player who had a nice renaissance at the end of his career after a couple of less than spectacular final years at Milan. But he needs to go into the Scholes/Kaka/Alonso tier, all sitting below Xavi, who was the best of his generation.

    Two words I never thought i'd see together. **** me.

    Xavi shades it but it's closer then people are saying imo. Pirlo was part(a big part) of a very succuessful AC Milan side, 2 CL titles(really should have been 3), multiple league titles, world cup winner. Yes he declined at Milan(like everyone else) but a move to Juve and he was revitalised. At 33-34 years old he was still dominating games.

    Xavi is an utter genius and maybe the best midfield player i've ever seen but Pirlo isn't far behind him.

    I voted Pirlo because of his majestic beard and winemaking skills.

    Probably 3 of the most intelligent footballers during the noughties, would not choose one above another, strange to see posters saying Xavi over Pirlo 'hands down'.
